A SHARK AT PRADA. I strolled through the new Prada store in Aruba, and tiptoed around the
very classy retro looking, black & white decor and ceiling-high shelves stocked with minimalistic
design bags and totes, sporting astounding price tags. Apparently, designers are raising prices to
increase their appeal. Yes, you heard me right. The more expensive, the more desirable it is, and up
at least 60%, in the last ten years. I read on line that Prada raises its prices in order to attract new,
wealthier customers, which are living to show the more exclusive products off. OK, I know, some
people just have to have the latest, buying pre-season at full price, and living on the cutting edge of
fashion. But I will always wait for the discount and get it a season later at half price. So what? No
one I knows, right?! Who can tell the difference? Bottom line, if the demand is there, brands will
continue to increase their prices, mostly because there are more people able to afford everything!
So while strolling through the gorgeous, muted and understated store, an adorable sales girl called
Shark escorted me, and we chitchatted. It was a good experience. Congratulations to the Renais-
sance Mall for this new addition, it’s a feather in their cap! What’s next, Hermes? Chanel? PS.
Prada is among top ten most expensive bag brands in the world. The Italian fashion house has been
in business since 1913, and makes clothing, jewelry, perfumes, footwear and watches.
TRANSCEND MAGAZINE. Transcend magazine is a new publication, marketed as: Your sus-
tainability source for the ABC islands. The magazine is the initiative of the ABJLGroup, Architect
Greg Lacle, Founder Jossy Lacle, and Operations Manager Reynald Geerman. They entrusted
Kenneth Giel, Manager, and Rosalie Klein, Chief Editor with the production of the publication.
The first edition with 42 full-color pages of valuable information regarding sustainability was just
published mid-December. The launch party at Pepia Est on Schotlandstaat was short on speeches,
some dignitaries no-showed, but generous with cocktails, befitting the party location. The new
bi-monthly hopes to keep us all informed of the latest developments on how to reduce our carbon
footprint and increase our savings, with sustainability as the common thread for all topics dis-
cussed. Our own green hotelier Ewald Biemans owner/operator of the Bucuti Beach Resort &
Tara Suites was featured as an environmental pioneer, in the first edition. Other interesting articles
covered the Amistad conference, the facelift of downtown Oranjestad and Expo Cas 2014.
EXPENSIVE CHICKEN WINGS. Chalo Burger moved to Noord at a very central location, pa
bien, introducing frilly prices with the new spot, namely 4 chicken wings for Awg 20. My market
research assistant who is a chicken wing lover reported to me that at the recently remodeled Cham-
pions restaurant at the Marriott Ocean Club, 6 chicken wings are served with all the trimmings for
just Awg 25. Chalo Burger’s menu is also misleading: All items boast both $ and Afl. I imagine
payment depends on the client, dollars for tourists, florins for locals.
PESSIMISTIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. We received a holiday greeting from the cham-
ber of commerce with three Christmas balls, bearing different messages. It went the following:
First - Thinking on closing your business, cancel it before December 31st. Second - Remember to
keep your company information up to date. Third - 2015 Resolutions: Prepare your annual finan-
cial report on time. Dear KVK, if this is your wish for me in the coming year, please stop sending
me holiday cards!
SPARKLING MEANS FESTIVE. I recently read that Madame de Pompadour, who was a high-
class dame advised her followers that Champagne is the only wine that leaves a woman beautiful
after drinking it. I have to agree, I always look better with a flute of champagne in my hand. I saw
a lot of bottles on store shelves, some stuff I didn’t know, but would love to meet and experience:
The Italian Moscato Spumante Dolce by the Fiorini family, the Vietti Moscato d’Asti, the Chilean
Undurraga Sparkling Demi-Sec or Brut, with the orange label, and the Champagne Duval-Leroy
Brut Rose, which I am partial to having enjoyed it during a fun wedding, just recently. Remember
Brut reflects a drier style, Demi Sec, is a bit sweeter than Brut, and Extra Dry comes between Demi
Sec and Brut. As a rule, you’re better off with bubbly that is not too sweet, your energy will last
longer! But if you insist on sweet, anything with Dolce would do. Happy New year!
